Job 37

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Whenever this happens, my heart stops - I'm stunned, I can't catch my breath.

2 Listen to it! Listen to his thunder, the rolling, rumbling thunder of his voice.

3 He lets loose his lightnings from horizon to horizon, lighting up the earth from pole to pole.

4 In their wake, the thunder echoes his voice, powerful and majestic. He lets out all the stops, he holds nothing back. No one can mistake that voice -

5 His word thundering so wondrously, his mighty acts staggering our understanding.

6 He orders the snow, 'Blanket the earth!' and the rain, 'Soak the whole countryside!'

7 No one can escape the weather - it's there. And no one can escape from God.

8 Wild animals take shelter, crawling into their dens,

9 When blizzards roar out of the north and freezing rain crusts the land.

10 It's God's breath that forms the ice, it's God's breath that turns lakes and rivers solid.

11 And yes, it's God who fills clouds with rainwater and hurls lightning from them every which way.

12 He puts them through their paces - first this way, then that - commands them to do what he says all over the world.

13 Whether for discipline or grace or extravagant love, he makes sure they make their mark. A Terrible Beauty Streams from God

14 "Job, are you listening? Have you noticed all this? Stop in your tracks! Take in God's miracle-wonders!

15 Do you have any idea how God does it all, how he makes bright lightning from dark storms,

16 How he piles up the cumulus clouds - all these miracle-wonders of a perfect Mind?

17 Why, you don't even know how to keep cool on a sweltering hot day,

18 So how could you even dream of making a dent in that hot-tin-roof sky?

19 "If you're so smart, give us a lesson in how to address God. We're in the dark and can't figure it out.

20 Do you think I'm dumb enough to challenge God? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

21 No one in his right mind stares straight at the sun on a clear and cloudless day.

22 As gold comes from the northern mountains, so a terrible beauty streams from God.

23 "Mighty God! Far beyond our reach! Unsurpassable in power and justice! It's unthinkable that he'd treat anyone unfairly.

24 So bow to him in deep reverence, one and all! If you're wise, you'll most certainly worship him."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 super hoc expavit cor meum et emotum est de loco suo

2 audite auditionem in terrore vocis eius et sonum de ore illius procedentem

3 subter omnes caelos ipse considerat et lumen illius super terminos terrae

4 post eum rugiet sonitus tonabit voce magnitudinis suae et non investigabitur cum audita fuerit vox eius

5 tonabit Deus in voce sua mirabiliter qui facit magna et inscrutabilia

6 qui praecipit nivi ut descendat in terram et hiemis pluviis et imbri fortitudinis suae

7 qui in manu omnium hominum signat ut noverint singuli opera sua

8 ingredietur bestia latibulum et in antro suo morabitur

9 ab interioribus egreditur tempestas et ab Arcturo frigus

10 flante Deo concrescit gelu et rursum latissimae funduntur aquae

11 frumentum desiderat nubes et nubes spargunt lumen suum

12 quae lustrant per circuitum quocumque eas voluntas gubernantis duxerit ad omne quod praeceperit illis super faciem orbis terrarum

13 sive in una tribu sive in terra sua sive in quocumque loco misericordiae suae eas iusserit inveniri

14 ausculta haec Iob sta et considera miracula Dei

15 numquid scis quando praeceperit Deus pluviis ut ostenderent lucem nubium eius

16 numquid nosti semitas nubium magnas et perfectas scientias

17 nonne vestimenta tua calida sunt cum perflata fuerit terra austro

18 tu forsitan cum eo fabricatus es caelos qui solidissimi quasi aere fusi sunt

19 ostende nobis quid dicamus illi nos quippe involvimur tenebris

20 quis narrabit ei quae loquor etiam si locutus fuerit homo devorabitur

21 at nunc non vident lucem subito aer cogitur in nubes et ventus transiens fugabit eas

22 ab aquilone aurum venit et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio

23 digne eum invenire non possumus magnus fortitudine et iudicio et iustitia et enarrari non potest

24 ideo timebunt eum viri et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes
